Anyone interested in getting Hot Wheels to make a Tucker?

I've seen only two model kits, of any kind, of Tuckers. One is a 1/24 resin kit (a body shell, interior bucket, bumpers, etc.) available from "The Modelhaus" in Illinois at over $50.00. The other is called "Triclops", and is also a 1/24 scale resin model, I believe, and is a modernized, hot-rod version of a Tucker. I personally don't like the lines of the Modelhaus kit, which was featured in "Fine Scale Modeler" magazine in December of '92. The guy sculpted his own clay model, then made a mold of it to make castings. I really don't like the "Triclops" much either, but others do! I'm hard to please sometimes-- especially after getting the sensational Kyosho die-cast Tucker model! <br>

This is my very first time visiting this website, and I have my father (an avid Tucker fan) to thank(!) for it. What a FANTASTIC idea to have a Tucker from Hot Wheels!! Wonderful! I'll throw my hat in the ring, too. Let's see if we can make this become a reality! <br>
<br>
Regards and Good Luck! <p></p><i></i>

You want a TUCKER?? Check out the latest offering from Johnny Lightning. ALL metal body and base, transparent Aqua paint over chrome, with white lettered rubber tires and incredible detailing. <br>

Johnny Lightning has actually two Tuckers in the 1/64 scale.<br>
<br>
Classic Gold #19 - features a waltz blue Tucker and photo of Tucker #1047 (Gilmore Car Museum's) and is very well detailed.<br>
<br>
Holiday Classic #7 - is the same car in a chrome-like green finish with white lettered tires. It comes with a plastic clip to make it a Christmas Ornament.<br>

Please check out the June 27, 2005 post about the "Professor Plum" Tucker made by Johnny Lightning. I see from eBay listings and such that J.L. has put Tuckers out in several different paint schemes. Of course they're not actual Hot Wheels, but I believe they're in the same scale and are the same type of fast-rolling diecast model. I love mine!

I also own a Johnny Lightning Tucker, i bought it at Walmart for a little over a buck. It has no opening doors or any other goodies, but it does come in a nice gold paintjob. They are relatively easy to find.
